Inhospitality to Strangers

Assistant Minister Rev. Chris Jimmerson's sermon delivered on May 10, 2015. On this Mother's Day, not far from here, hundreds of immigrant mothers are being held in a detention facility, separated from their children and loved ones. Just a little farther away, immigrant women and their children -- some as young as three -- are also being held in detention, many of them for months at a time. How do we view this ethically and religiously, especially through the lens of our religious values and our mission?
